Got here at around 11:45am and missed the morning specials but everything here is pretty reasonably priced so not much difference anyway. Instant noodle with satay beef and scrambled egg sandwich $ 6.50 — good amount of beef which was soft and tender. The egg sandwich was a bit dry. Usually its dripping in butter but its almost like they forgot to put butter in this one. Still tasted good though. Smoked salmon toast with fusilli in vegetable soup $ 5.99 — pretty average dish. The smoked salmon tasted okay but they litterally just threw it on the plate with the toast. Looked weird like the plate was incomplete. Curry beef brisket with rice $ 8.50 — Tasted okay and the beef was pretty soft and tender. All meals came with milk tea. Good for cheap, fast meals

We come here a lot for HK café style combos and we also do group dinner(size ~10, should book in advance and they will always accommodate). I find they make a more effort to prep the food than the average HK style restaurant. They also have TVs broadcasting Fairchild. Their staff is friendly and courteous. They can do unique dishes for group dinner if you book in advance. Go to place usually when I pickup my wife from the go station and wait out the traffic.

Arriving at 10:15am-ish on a Saturday morning, we needed to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. We already came here quite early because right after we got in, a ton of people flowed into the restaurant. Chinese newspapers are free of charge all week round as long as you dine here! Yay! If you’re the type to spend money on newspaper, there you go — get it from here. I ordered from the Ming’s Super Breakfast which is from 7am to 11:30am and I got letter O, which was beef in satay sauce vermicelli, scrambled egg and ham+butter and toast for $ 5.50. In addition to that, you get a coffee or tea for free, $ 0.75 extra for a cold beverage, $ 0.75 extra for change to instant noodles and $ 0.50 extra for toasted bread. We honestly waited like 2 minutes for our drinks to come after we ordered and like less than a minute after, the food came. The food wasn’t very hot, it felt like they prepared all of this already and just scooped it from a mildly warm area, but bonus for the speed it is served at. The beef satay didn’t have enough satay in it, I feel. In addition, the soup wasn’t hot, just warm. The toast, was not toasted, as you would need to pay an extra $ 0.50 for toasted bread… which is a little extra. The egg with ham was literally a scrambeled egg mixed with small ham slices. Don’t expect to sit here for a really long time. The food isn’t really good, but the fact that newspaper is free and food comes SUPER fast is a bonus!

Free wifi! 9053050770. Great and friendly service. Get the specialty puff pastry soup combo. Orgasmic garlic bread! They’re not as cheap as your average Chinese Hong Kong style café but the few extra dollars you pay is so worth it! All of their pork chop rice dishes are to die for They have daily specials from 1130am-10pm and afternoon tea sets from 2pm-6pm, lunch specials from 1130am-6pm

3.5 Another HK style restaurant to add to my list. Ming’s is your typical HK style restaurant, nothing more, nothing less. Pros: Ample seating for a small place Prices are good Cons: Portions on some items could be better We came in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was about 1000 and the place was already full. For a small place, there’s about 12 booths and a bunch of tables in the middle. Turnover is real quick and we were seated in less than 5 minutes. For all those seats in a small place, it doesn’t have that cramped feeling you get at other small HK style cafes. We ordered a couple of breakfast specials. I had a beef brisket noodle soup and a egg and ham sandwich to share with my little one. My GF had the breakfast special which came with eggs, sausage(hot dogs), ham and toast. Each special comes with a hot drink and you pay a little more for a cold one. The food comes out very quick. My noodle was very good. It could of used a little more brisket but they gave you oodles of noodles. The rice noodle they used was to my liking as well. It stayed consistently al dente throughout the meal. The sandwich was more of a miss. The bread was rather thick, but there wasn’t much inside. It was literally one egg and a slice of ham. For $ 3.99 they could of at last given me two eggs. My GF’s breakfast special was not bad. Her toast was different from the bread I got for my sandwich if anything to note. Service here is on par with other places. There’s no glaring flaws of any sort to report. We didn’t need the third drink for our specials because our little one didn’t need one so they gladly gave us a discount on one of the specials to make up for it. Breakfast came out to just under $ 18 before tips. We had a good experience here and we’ll definitely be back to try their non breakfast offerings when we can.

Ming’s Restaurant is a HK café similar to New City Restaurant, Phoenix Restaurant, Richmond Court, etc. Today I had the Gui Lin Vermicelli in Soup for $ 6.99. It’s an all day Chef’s Special and comes with a drink(I got hot lemon tea). It was pretty good. The rice noodles were a bit on the soft side though. Overall I enjoyed this place and will come back to try other dishes. Lots of items on the menus. Staff was very friendly chatting with patrons, free wifi, good location with decent parking.

Came for breakfast this morning. Had the steak, eggs, sausage and hash brown. Food was ok, not too keen on the gravy, not much flavour, thick and not hot. Came with a hot drink and was only $ 5.99. Not many customers here but I think I prefer New City over here. You can get a free chinese newspaper with your breakfast, if you can read it.

I usually come here for afternoon tea. My family and I come here before or after groceries since it’s close to foody mart supermarket. It usually gets busy and full by 3:00; I recommend coming exactly at 2 or 2:10 if you want to grab a booth. I’ve noticed that if you order a slightly bigger dish like«stir-fried black pepper beef spaghetti» they will assume that you won’t be sharing and provide only one fork and spoon. But asking for small bowls and utensils are easy and the staff are friendly. I’ve also noticed when there are a lot orders the smoke that comes from the kitchen is quite strong and since the place isn’t too big, the odors spread and absorb into your clothes. I suggest if you’re not a big fan of the greasy cooking fumes don’t go when it’s peak hours.

All the restaurant are full in this plaza but not this one. So why not give it a try. Service is very quick. The food a pretty good but nothing really excite me. I don’t mind coming here again but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Great restaurant! This is my go to Chinese place! I love the new decoration and the service is amazing! The price is definitely worth it considering the large portion of food they provide! The owner is really nice :)

It is really 3.5 stars. This is a HK style café that has a traditional-HK-style-café decoration, as opposed to contemporary new age. I have grown to like this decoration style; it is homey and unpretentious. I ordered a stirred fried noodle($ 7) for lunch. It tasted decent/okay/not bad. In short, it won’t wow you but you won’t hate it for sure. But the portion will wow you. Hugh portion — 2 meals in 1, or 2 ladies can share 1 order, or 1 guy can get really full. The services was super friendly and efficient. The waitresses actually smiled there. +0.5 star for enthusiastic service attitude.

Lunch here is good in taste and prices. Dinner menu has a wide selection. The restaurant also takes private made-to-ordered dinner.

Will not return here… Food is inexpensive. So cheap that when we wanted to place an order after we were seated that the waitress insisted that we carry out the food. No refill of tea or soup. Thus is customary at all Chinese restaurants. Plus waitresses did not come over to check on our food or take away our completed dishes. Waitresses said«buh bye» to us as we left. This is am insult. Apparently they didn’t even want us to come back, and we won’t be because of their terrible customer service.

Ming’s Restaurant is another Hong Kong Style Café in the Chinese plaza at Kennedy and Hwy 7. Good thing about it is open at 7AM for breakfast 7 days a week! OK who’s in their right mind will be up at 7AM on weekends if one doesn’t need to work? I don’t know. :P Breakfast starts at $ 2.50 with a sandwich and a drink. which is A-OK for me! Nothing great but nothing bad, that’s how we like our cheap quick breakfasts to be. and I able even pick up the bill and treat my friend! Cash Only!
